Not sure which level, but yes, Dish does carry the PAC 12 network(s).

DISH will make available Disney Junior, Fusion, ESPN Goal Line, ESPN Buzzer Beater, as well as Longhorn Network and the upcoming SEC ESPN Network upon its launch. In addition, DISH, ESPN and ESPN Deportes customers will have access to the live and video-on-demand channel ESPN3.



As part of the agreement, DISH will launch ESPNEWS, ESPNU, Disney Channel and ABC Family in high definition. ESPN Classic will be reintroduced as a video-on-demand channel.



The extensive and expanded rights package gives DISH customer access to video-on-demand content at home, on computers and on-the-go through the DISH Anywhere app for tablets and smartphones, including

Okay. I was trying to see of the Pac12 networks had successfully leveraged Dish's carriage into getting Direct to playing ball.

Thus far, they have failed.

DirectTV will not cave its position as quickly as we'd like.

The link I posted above lets you see if you have it yet and if you don't, lets you notify your company that you want it.

College football on the west coast does not have the following that college football in the south has. Directv can afford to play hardball with the PAC Network, but I don't think they can afford to play hardball with the SEC Network. They'd lose a third of their Southern subscribers in the Fall, and tens of thousands in Texas.

Thanks

Turns out I'd already used that link

Hope Charter knows what's good for 'em.

No offense, but that wasn't very smart. You should have waited to see what was going to happen with the SEC Network.

And so I was RIGHT!!!!

The LHN will be FORCED to PIGGYBACK its way into distribution via the SEC Network.


How fricking pathetic.

1. LHN will NEVER be profitable
2. the sips will be STUCK in the pathetic big twatever for at least another 12 years.
3. Daddy will continue to own the state of Texas.

And who gets to pay for the SECN, which pulls in A LOT more per subscriber?

don't laugh too hard cause you'll be paying for the SEC Network, and you'll be paying the SEC $1.30 a month for the network.

I am REALLY bad at math, so help me out here. $0.05 per month for the LHN, then $1.30 from the sip for the SECN.

Net: $1.25 to SECN?

Did I do that right?
